DS is 3.2 and has never wanted to potty train, despite all his friends being out of nappies for ages.
About a month ago he suddenly decided to wear big boy pants and I was very encouraging, as it was the first sign he'd showed of being up for it.
It started ok ish, but 2/3 weeks in it's got even worse. He's never pooed in his potty (but does every day in his pants) and had about 5 wee accidents today> he just doesn't seem to realise when he needs it, or is that bothered when it happens.
He doesn't respond to bribery (reward charts, stickers, etc) and I'm tempted to give up. Thing is, he's pretty old as it is, and I hate the idea of him thinking he's failed, is less of a "big boy" etc. But it's driving us both potty (pardon the pun) the number of times I have to change him...
Any ideas, please? TIA.
